205. Scramble
In the woods of the People's Park, where most of the trees are about 20 meters, the thousand-year-old cypress trees that grow to a height of 60 meters are as conspicuous as the giants who stand out from the crowd and the giants come to the dwarf flock, which soon attracted the exclamation and attention of the tourists in the park.
"Husband, you see a tree over there that suddenly grows to the height of a twenty-story building." A woman in a sky-blue cardigan widened her eyes, tugged at the arm of a man next to her, and said with her mouth wide open.
"Haha, no kidding, I'm taking pictures of my daughter. If she is not satisfied, she will cry when she gets home. "The man in the jacket uh was taking pictures of his five-year-old daughter with his phone in his hand, and he didn't believe it at all.
"I'm telling the truth, just turn your head and look at it. Come and take a look. The woman turned her husband's head ninety degrees.
"I rubbed, shouldn't I be dazzled, I remember that there were no trees so tall when I came in, and I took a picture in that direction. Found the tree, which wasn't that tall half an hour ago. ”
The man in the jacket was so shocked that he didn't even hear his daughter's dissatisfied shout "Bad Daddy".
"Let's go and have a look." The man in the jacket turned to pick up his daughter and walked towards the tall tree that had suddenly appeared.
They weren't the only tourists who noticed the anomaly, others chose to take a look. On a sunny day, a man found out, one spread ten, ten spread twenty, and soon most of the tourists were heading in one direction.
Jiang Yiming felt bad in his heart after seeing the thousand-year-old cypress tree suddenly grow to a height of 60 meters, which was even more bizarre than a bamboo that was 10 meters long in a week. He thought that this was too much movement, and it would definitely attract the attention of others, and he was going to check the cypress tree, but it seemed that it had to be canceled.
Things were just as he had expected, and before two minutes had passed, people were coming up the cobblestone path, past him and towards the cypress tree at the top, which was still not visible from the top.
Jiang Yiming also arrived at the thousand-year-old cypress tree in the flow of people, and quietly connected with the cypress tree in the exclamation of others.
He deliberately intimidated the cypress: "You mean stretching your muscles and bones that suddenly grow three times as tall as they were?" It's too big, it will attract the attention of others, and if you don't do it, it will cut you down.
Although the thousand-year-old cypress tree is not smart enough, it still feels that Jiang Yiming's words seem to be something wrong, but it doesn't care very much, like a child who tastes chocolate for the first time:
It seems unlikely, I've seen them build a ring of guardrails to protect me. By the way, what you just lost to me is so delicious, can you have more?
Jiang Yiming looked at the curious crowd around him, and flatly refused Cypress's request: No, there are too many people here, let's find an opportunity to give you a little more natural power in the future.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit patted Jiang Yiming's shoulder and said, "This brother, you have seen enough of the Divine Tree, if you don't want to go and get the bark of the Divine Tree, then give me the place." ”
Jiang Yiming turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in a crumpled suit, then looked left and right, and found that many people were digging the bark of cypress trees with things at hand, such as keys.
Some people even thought that the key was not strong enough, so they took out a knife and cut it directly on the trunk of the cypress, and a large piece of mossy bark was a single stroke. There are also people in the back who can't reach the bark and desperately squeeze forward.
Just a casual look, Jiang Yiming found that apart from himself, only one or two people did not do anything, and the other twenty or thirty people all launched a peeling operation on the cypress.
"What is this?"
He wondered how these people were peeling bark, didn't they know that the tree would die without bark.
"Of course, I want to take some bark back and refresh myself, this cypress tree has lived for thousands of years, it was already dead but I don't know why it suddenly came back to life, and it has grown three times as tall as it used to be.
There must be some special substance or something, and to bring it back from the dead, isn't that enough for us to peel the bark? Little brother, if you want to peel it quickly, you can't do it when the people from the park management office come. ”
The middle-aged man put his hands on his hands, trying to keep the person behind him behind, and was sweating profusely.
Such a scene reminded Jiang Yiming of the old news that after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize three years ago, the radishes and bricks in the old residence were pulled out by tourists one after another.
In fact, he really wanted to say to these people who were working hard that the thousand-year-old cypress bark is still cypress bark, and it has no special effect. If you can move the entire 60-meter-tall cypress tree home, you may be able to cure your insomnia.
Two park security guards came to the thousand-year-old cypress tree, and when they saw a large group of people in Wuyangyang surrounding the cypress tree and constantly using tools to pry the bark, they immediately became nervous: "Hey, what are you doing?" This cypress tree is a national protected cultural relic, and you can't mess around, if you don't stop, I'll call the police! ”
Hearing the word alarm, those who peeled the bark not only did not stop, but accelerated their own actions in an effort to peel off more bark. The people who couldn't reach the cypress trees behind them kept squeezing in front of them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, trying to peel off a piece of bark before the police arrived.
"Little brother, since you don't want the bark, let me come." The middle-aged man was no longer polite, and directly arched his shoulders to squeeze Jiang Yiming, who had not taken action, out of the circle.
"Call the police, call the police quickly. If they were to kill the thousand-year-old cypress, we would all be expelled. ”
At the urging of a female colleague, a male security guard used a walkie-talkie to contact the park management office, reported the situation, and asked the management office to call the police.
Jiang Yiming stayed away and communicated with the thousand-year-old cypress: Xiaobai, you are fine, these people are peeling your bark on you.
The cypress tree sighed for the rest of its life: fortunately, these barks are old bark, and they are no longer of much use, and it doesn't matter much if they are taken away. The bark can grow again, as long as it doesn't cut me down. I really should listen to you, Immortal Chief, and don't make too many moves to attract the attention of others. Immortal Chief, can you take me away?
Shaking his head, Jiang Yiming said: Not now, I'll see if there's a chance to get you away at night.
Of course, he was not looking for a crane to lift the thousand-year-old cypress tree away, and the movement was too loud to find a place to hide a sixty-meter-tall giant tree. His approach was to transform the cypress tree into a tree man and let it act on its own.
But it also solves the big problem of hiding. The thousand-year-old cypress tree was previously twenty meters tall and three people hugging thick and it was difficult to hide, let alone the super giant body of six meters tall and five people hugging together.
Although Jiang Yiming had already denied the idea of the thousand-year-old cypress tree leaving the park in his heart, he would still come back at night.
In the past, those trees that were more than ten meters tall were transformed into tree people so strong, comparable to an invulnerable large excavator, and he really wanted to know how strong the tree people were after the transformation of sixty-meter-high cypress trees.
The sound of the police car's horn came over, and this very obvious signal startled the crowd who were peeling the bark of the cypress. Then they hurried away like an ant's nest with a chunk of bark.
